transfusion malaria in the united states, 1972-1981.twenty-six cases of transfusion-induced malaria were reported in the united states from 1972 through 1981. in nine patients malaria was due to plasmodium malariae; eight, p. falciparum; eight, p. vivax; and one, p. ovale. four patients died. the estimated rate of transfusion malaria for this period was 0.25 cases per million donor units collected. of the 18 cases in which a specific infective blood donor could be identified, at least nine of the donors should have been rejected for blood donatio ...19836349456
transfusion-acquired plasmodium malariae infection in two premature infants.several diseases can be transmitted to infants via transfusion. the risk of acquiring an infection via transfusion is greatly increased in sick premature infants because they receive frequent transfusions. the full-term infant is not fully competent immunologically, and the premature infant is even less able to deal with infection. ideally, the transfusion of infected blood, especially into immunoincompetent recipients, should not occur. however, because screening for malaria in nonendemic regio ...19836351009

patterns of glomerulonephritis in zimbabwe: survey of disease characterised by nephrotic proteinuria.ninety-eight zimbabweans with glomerulonephritis characterised by nephrotic proteinuria were studied. there was no evidence to implicate schistosoma mansoni or s. haemotobium in the aetiology, although schistosomiasis was diagnosed in 54 patients in the series. similarly, plasmodium malariae proved unimportant as a cause of the nephrotic syndrome, only one patient showing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis which was associated with subclinical quartan malarial infection. nevertheless, infections ...19846369374
frequencies of cribra orbitalia in central italy (19th century) under special consideration of their degrees of expression.according to several hematological and anthropological studies the formation of hyperostosis spongiosa orbitae can be attributed to different types of anemias. since especially in central italy the different forms of thalassemia as well as plasmodium vivax, plasmodium malariae and plasmodium falciparum have been rather vastly distributed a study of this trait (differentiating between degrees of expression) on a population sample (125 males, 80 females) including adult, mature and senile skulls h ...19846372679
the role of infectious agents in the aetiology and pathogenesis of childhood nephrotic syndrome in africa.childhood nephrotic syndrome is common in africa where infectious agents are prevalent. this paper reviews the possible aetiological role of infectious agents in childhood nephrotic syndrome in africa. there is a strong association, possibly causal, between childhood nephrotic syndrome on the one hand and plasmodium malariae, schistosoma mansoni and hepatitis b antigens on the other. beta-haemolytic streptococci are less strongly associated with nephrotic syndrome, and a few other organisms are ...19846373945

monoclonal antibody identifies circumsporozoite protein of plasmodium malariae and detects a common epitope on plasmodium brasilianum sporozoites.we produced a hybridoma secreting an immunoglobulin g1 monoclonal antibody against the circumsporozoite protein of the human malaria parasite plasmodium malariae (uganda 1/cdc). the monoclonal antibody produces a circumsporozoite precipitation reaction when incubated with viable sporozoites of p. malariae and reacts at high titers with heat-fixed sporozoites in an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. using the purified monoclonal antibody and western blot analysis, we identified two polypep ...19846381308
[imported malaria in brest hospitals from 1974 to 1980].from 1974 to 1980, 42 confirmed hospital cases of imported malaria occurred in brest. for 4 cases, we have no information. for the others, 24 care europeans and 14 non-europeans. among the europeans, the merchant-seamen are the most exposed group. a high proportion of infections are due to plasmodium falciparum, mainly from black africa. one patient had a neuropaludism and three had serious attacks. in about half of patients, the initial diagnosis was not malaria. all cases of p. falciparum were ...19846386204
malaria in urban and rural areas of southern ghana: a survey of parasitaemia, antibodies, and antimalarial practices.a comparative cross-sectional survey was undertaken in two populations, urban and rural, in southern ghana to assess the impact of urbanization on the prevalence of malaria parasitaemia and antibodies. at the same time, a survey of antimalarial practices was conducted on sample populations in the two communities. the results showed a low parasite rate (1.6%) and correspondingly low titres of malaria antibodies in a significant proportion of the urban community, particularly in children less than ...19846386208
[epidemiology of malaria in tanna (vanuatu)].a malaria survey done on the island of tanna (southern part of vanuatu) showed that this island was hypoendemic with a few areas mesoendemicity where permanent breeding site are available for anopheles farauti. the average spleen rate was 5,25% and the parasite rate 10,43%. plasmodium vivax was the most prevalent species. the vector anopheles farauti was found to be endophilic. recently, chloroquin resistance was observed.19846391709

epidemiology of plasmodium malariae infection in gambela, ethiopia.malaria incidence and prevalence surveys were performed from december, 1967 to february, 1969 among the indigenous nilotic inhabitants of gambela, a small administrative centre in the western lowlands of ethiopia. entomological data suggested that malaria transmission was seasonal and this was consistent with monthly p. falciparum parasite rates. monthly p. malariae parasite rates, however, were consistent with an hypothesis of homogeneity. the age-specific incidence of quartan malaria among 26 ...19826765340
non-a, non-b hepatitis after experimental transmission of malaria by inoculation of blood.in a 1969 prisoner volunteer study of malaria transmission by blood inoculation, six persons were subinoculated sequentially, and acute hepatitis occurred in the last four (sequential study). subsequently, another 15 volunteers receiving malaria-rich blood from 14 different donors were followed prospectively (prospective study), and hepatitis developed in six. incubation periods were shorter but serum transaminase levels were higher for the cases of hepatitis occurring in the sequential study th ...19816783707
atypical pulmonary malaria.three atypical cases of pulmonary malaria are presented and discussed. radiologically, they were manifested by very subtle thickening of interlobular septae or by more overt interstitial edema and pleural effusion. they were all relatively mild and cleared completely on antimalarial drugs. this is in contrast to most reported cases which were severe and fatal. this resultant widening of the clinical and radiologic spectrum of pulmonary malaria leads to the conclusion that such a complication is ...19816787890
[transfusion-induced malaria: risks, prevention and cost (1 year's experience)].three cases of transfusion induced paludism have been seen in rouen since 1976. two of them were due to plasmodium falciparum and the third to plasmodium malariae. in order to improve the prevention of this disease, a survey was carried out in 1980 which concerned 51,000 blood samples, 1,020 blood donors were selected because they had lived in a malarial endemic zone. among them, 92 subjects were detected by an indirect immunofluorescence reaction as having a titer exceeding 1: 20 and their bloo ...19816800022
